Chapter 201, Battle against GDP.(1/2)
The next day, the Portland Trail Blazers played against the San Antonio Spurs at home.
In the Rose Garden Arena, the game officially began with a whistle.
The Spurs got the ball rights, Parker dribbled in the frontcourt, and Xue Ding was in front of him.
Although the three GDP players were at the peak at this time, Xue Ding was very confident in playing against Parker, and he had an advantage in height and speed.
In the first round, Parker did not intend to attack and break through, but waved his hand gesture and the demon sword Ginobili came forward to pick-and-roll.
Parker avoided Xue Ding's defense and came to the penalty area.
Seeing this, Chandler hurried to make up for the defense.
However, Duncan was vacant, and Parker suddenly made the ball into Duncan's hands. Shifo calmly pushed the ball into the basket.
With such a perfect cooperation, you can easily get two points.
The Spurs took the lead.
In the next round, Xue Ding controls the ball in his hand.
After seeing that other teammates did not have a good pass position, Xue Ding was about to do it alone.
He suddenly exerted force on his right foot, and with his physical speed, he passed the defender and prepared to fight from the right side to the penalty area.
Just as he was about to take off and put the ball into the basket, a big hand slapped over his head.
It was a long time to say that, and then Shi Buddha slapped the ball away from Xue Ding with his hands.
If Xue Ding had not had strong physical fitness, Xue Ding would have fallen to the ground without steadily, but he staggered a little and stabilized his body.
This cover made him understand the horror of Stone Buddha Duncan.
After blocking the shot, Duncan actually said trash words to him: "Xue, are you still drinking milk? Are you playing basketball like this? I will be on guard against you going home to find your mother!"
Xue Ding didn't expect that he was always dull. The low-key Deng Daidai would also squirt about trash words, and the object he was still sprayed with?
This made Xue Ding both angry and wanted to laugh.
Although Duncan has always been one of the players he particularly respects and likes, on the court, no matter who the opponent is, he has to return it, because trash talk is also part of the court.
Xue Ding responded: "Old guy, wait for me to dunk on your head and score points. I'm still a fight with old bones. I won't go home to fish!"
After spraying the trash, both sides have their own advantages.
The Spurs are more about team cooperation, while the Trail Blazers rely more on Xue Ding's personal performance.
After all, the opposite side is the Spurs, which is known for team basketball!
With a whistle, Xue Ding missed a buzzer-beating shot in the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs led the Trail Blazers by 8 points 28-20.
After this quarter, Xue Ding appreciated the power of GDP and the team basketball tactics of Mr. Popovich. This old man is indeed not a big deal!
The feeling of each fight is different.
After the first quarter, the coaches of both sides arranged the next tactics and clarified what each player should do and what not to do.
After a short rest, the second quarter began.
In order to reduce the score difference, Prichard placed Xue Ding, Roy, Ade and other starters on the court.
On the other hand, the Spurs were not in a hurry, and Popovich chose to let the French sports car Parker take the second team alone, and Duncan, Manu, Hill and other players continued to rest.
In the GDP era, there is a saying circulating in the public: Parker is looking at good times, Duncan is looking at deficit, and Manu is looking at desperate times!
At the beginning of the second quarter, everyone in the Trail Blazers were full of momentum and vowed to recover the score.
After serving at the bottom line, Parker controls the ball and the Spurs' ball rights.
Parker was preparing to organize the first wave of offense and came outside the three-point line in the frontcourt.
Xue Ding has already made a defensive posture.
The death-wrapped defense officially begins.
Xue Ding touched Parker and kept interfering with Parker's dribble with his hands.
It caused serious interference to Parker. Originally, Parker was one step away from the three-point line.
At this time, Xue Ding was forced to the midfield line and took another step back, and the ball was about to return.
Seeing that he could not get rid of his interference in defense, Parker had to stop the ball and find his teammate's position to pass the ball.
But other teammates were also strictly guarded by the Trail Blazers, and they could not find a suitable receiving position.
Seeing that the ball was stopped, Popovich shouted wildly on the sidelines: "Go and catch the ball, run...Farke!"
Seeing this, it would be time for Parker to not pass the ball.
So he intended to pass the ball from the right to Keis Bogans, who was still a little open.
But little did he know that it was a little pass route that Xue Ding deliberately left to Parker. He knew that Parker would definitely pass the ball in the end!
When Parker threw the ball out of his hand at the last second, Xue Ding cut the ball off.
Without even hesitation, Xue Ding used all his strength to accelerate and rushed towards the front court.
When Parker realized that the ball was cut, he wanted to chase Xue Ding, give him some interference and influence him to attack fast attack.
But Xue Ding crushed Parker in terms of speed and height jump.
So when Parker was about to speed up to chase Xue Ding, Xue Ding had already lost his two positions.
Parker gave up. He knew that he could no longer stop this fast attack, so he could only watch Xue Ding go to ravage the basket.
It can be said that he has the will but lacks the strength...
Sure enough, Xue Ding made a Carter-style frame dunk.
This game was almost performed by him as a slam dunk contest.
This button actually caused exclamation from all the fans of the audience.
It was almost cheering and noisy for him, and Xue Ding's dunk would never disappoint!
At this time, the Chinese fans watching the live broadcast all swear in the live broadcast room:
"Woc, is this still a human?!"
"What awesome pen"
“…”
Although it did not ignite the atmosphere in the audience, it was exaggerated enough.
"pause!"
With a whistle, the Spurs called for a timeout.
The old man Popovich saw that Xue Ding was about to help the pioneers take shape.
Popovich immediately called a pause and strangled the momentum.
After the timeout, Bobo did not dare to be careless and placed all three GDP on the field. There was no change in which side of the Trail Blazers lineup.
It's still the starting lineup because they want to chase points!
The GDP three were present, and the effect immediately appeared.
Both defense and offense are much better than before.
Either Duncan came over to pick and roll at a high position to give teammates an offensive space, or it was a solo show by Xue Ding or Roy superstars.
The two sides are back and forth, and the score gap does not increase or decrease, and it has been maintained at the 10-point gap...
The second quarter ended 25 seconds left, and Xue Ding dribbled through half the game.
He held the ball on the right and looked up at the scorer. There was still a tenth difference.
"The Wrath of the Turtle."
Xue Ding dried a bottle of wolfberry water and wanted to chase the score.
Xue Ding stopped urgently, stood one meter outside the three-point line, and pushed the ball from his hand towards the direction of the basket.
At this moment, everyone held their breath and watched the ball draw a perfect arc in the air.
And the other end of the arc is the ball frame!
"The ball is in, the ball is in!"
Baobi Xue didn't roar this time, but pointed at the sky in a low-key manner.
This goal not only stunned everyone in the Spurs, but also everyone in the Trail Blazers were shocked.
Because in their impression, Xue Ding's three-pointer was average, let alone this three-pointer at a very long distance.
“It’s incredible!”
The game continued, the Spurs served at the bottom line, and Parker controlled the ball slowly.
This time, Xue Ding actually came to defend Parker from the backcourt.
I saw him constantly interfering with Parker and digging the ball.
To be continued...
